malaysia regulations is weird and funny. i remember during my race day, my shoei helmet is not allowed because it doesn't have Sirim Sticker and others don't count .....
end up need to pay rm 50 to settle.

I think in many ways, it is continuously learning and evolving. But, there are still loopholes where unsuitable helmets can be shipped into Malaysia.

To be frank, Kastam officer will inspect for it, and maybe write a notice for pay tax. Is difficult becoz is a safety device. Eventhough ECE certified, also need JPJ lulus.

These days, buy from Shopee overseas, can get really really low grade helmet that pass for motorcycle use. Buyers beware la.

the law is SIRIM OR ECE22.05....."or"...not "and"  - source: i emailed JPJ myself.

BUT... alot of officers out there may not be aware of the law and may think SIRIM is a must at all cost.

that was last time, nowadays they know better
I know some not approved here are DOT (US), SNI (Indonesia), which I think was the original huha on the topic, as some ppl tried to bring in Indonesian KYT models to Malaysia

take photos of the helmet before kastam hold it, make sure include the ECE tags and model name number
get written approval from JPJ, only then Kastam will release the item
